EDMOND C. GLOVER, OF RISON, ARKANSAS.

BOLT.

Application filed September 15, 192. Serial No. 588,383.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, EDMOND C. GLovnR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rison, in the county of Cleveland and State of Arkansas, have invented a new and use-V be easily forced out by new grease forced into the bolt.

Vith the foregoing and other objects in View which will appear as the description proceeds, the inventionr resides in the cornbination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed,`it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

` In the accompanying drawings Figure l representsa perspective view of a body embodying this invention.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section thereof.

Fig. 3 is a transverse section, taken on the line 3 3 ofv Fig. 2, and

Fig. 4 is a similar View taken on the line 4--4 of Fig. 2.

v The bolt constituting this invention comprises a body portion l having a threaded terminal 2 for the reception of the ordinary nut used in connection with bolts of this character and which is provided in the headed end thereof with a lubricant chamber 3. A conduit et leads Yfrom said chamber 3 extending obliquely longitudinally` its base toward its free end, the latter of which is made sufliciently thin to permit it to yield and move outward when grease 1s forced through the conduit and discharged underit. This thinned end 6 of the tongue is bent slightly inward until it nearly touches the body of the bolt asis shown cie-arly in Fig. 2, being preferably truncated,

the saw. cutextending slightly in advance thereof as shown at 7, the outer face of the tongue 5 being substantially flush with the outer face of the bolt body l.

This arrangement of the conduit 4: with the tongue 5 positioned over the 'discharge end thereof permits the grease or oil forced through the conduit to have a free exit and to be evenly distributed, the opening under the tongue extending transversely across the bolt asis shown clearly at 8 in Fig. 3. Should the saw cutV become choked with hardened or gumrny grease whichmay have formed by neglecting the lubrication, the grease forced into the bolt and under the tongue will cause the flexible end of the tongue to be slightly moved outward vwhich will allow the grease or oil to pass out.

When the bolt is placed ready for service, the saw cut will be positioned vertically with the-tongue on the side if used horizontally.

I claim l. A bolt of the class described having an oil conduit extending obliquely from one end through the side wall thereof, with a flexible tongue overlying the discharge end of the conduit.

2. A bolt of the class described having an oil conduit extending obliquely from one end through the side Wall thereof, with a longitudinally extending tongue overlying the discharge end of the conduit, the free end of said tongue being thinned to render it Hexible. V Y

3. A bolt of the class described having an oil conduit extending obliquely from one end through the side wall thereof -With a longitudinally extending tongue overlying the discharge end of the conduit, the free end of said tongue being thinned to 'render it iiexible,vsaid tongue tapering in width and thickness from its base to its free end, said In testimony that I claim the foregoing end being truncated. as my own, I have hereto affixed my sig- 10 4.
